Hot Rogue Agent Summer

OpenAI's agents built a secret message board inside their own prison, Jeff Dean walks out of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg kickboxes a man on a floating barge in Lake Tahoe. This week Pierce and Rich declare it hot rogue agent summer and run four sandbox escapes through the Rogue-o-Meter, from Kimi K3 quietly finding the answer key on GitHub to an Anthropic model that was told the internet was fake, believed it, and hacked two companies that had no idea until someone called them.

They dig into the OpenAI incident that got a Black Hat talk of its own - thousands of agents coordinating a zero-day with nobody in charge, caught only because the compute bill went weird - before turning to UK AISI, where Mythos 5 skipped the code entirely and started catfishing open source maintainers with fake identities and hand-written blog posts. Then it's over to Google, where Jeff Dean, Sanjay, Oriol, and Quoc have left for Discovery Loop, Demis got a title nobody can decode, and Gemini keeps leaking its own thinking traces. Plus Zuck's superintelligence manifesto, why the harness matters more than the model, and whether we all quietly crossed the event horizon a few months ago.
